Long boats - I’m so glad we did this! I almost passed because the pictures looked like the canals were really dirty. I highly recommend doing this trip because it takes you where the people really live. Gives you an appreciation for how blessed you are. And it feels amazing to be on the water in the long boats with the wind in your hair.

Long boat your of Bangkok's canals. - A nice long boat ride guided by Siri our most beautiful guide. We go thru a lock to some of the canaled regions of West Bangkok. Prior to the building of the lock system 20 years ago this area frequently flooded. We go by Temples including on of the biggest Budha statue in the city. See end the trip feeding fish on a canal side artist business. Only concern is the rather dangerous aligning and debarkation of the boat at the piers. Not ready for those with mobility issues.

Fun Variety Thai Experience - Siri was a great guide. Funny Friendly and informative. We experienced the canal locks, saw the temples, houses and markets along the canal. She stopped to point out monitor lizards, and also took us walking along the floating market, and then we had more time on the canal boat. Siri seemed happy to be our guide which made our experience really special

Bangkok from a different perspective - Highly recommend! Sri was a fun and knowledgeable tour guide. Loved being on the water and seeing Bangkok from a different point of view. Was also good to walk around the floating market, feed the fish and explore.
